call me out v. 14.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

[mearry]

I don’t mind. [ fufufufu ] They let you come here thinking that I’d eat you. Isn’t that bad enough?

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm used to it
Not the sending me to die thing, but
Being treated like I'm worth less than them

[mearry]

[ well that… hurts to hear, actually. he hates knowing this. sympathizing with him. his tail stills. ]

Don’t you hate them?

[gemuinemanagement]

Not really
I'm not very good at hating people
It takes a lot of energy for me and it doesn't feel like it's worth it

[mearry]

Ahaha… you really are a strange one. You really are too kind.

[ he closes his eyes, still smiling. ]

I would never be able to forgive them.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's okay
You don't have to

[They don't really deserve it. He's not forgiving them for their sakes, but for his own.]

[mearry]

…

[ … ]

I won’t. And if I did, they would just find another target for their hatred. Better it’s me than any other creature, human or not.

[gemuinemanagement]

That's not fair to you
But
At least you have one person on your side now

[That's better than before, so maybe he'll be happier than before...?]

1/2

[mearry]

[ oh… ]

[mearry]

[ he smiles softly, nodding. ]

Mhm. Though that may bring you trouble too, my dear.

[ still lying down on his stomach, he wraps his arms around suga’s lower back…kind of like half clinging to him. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I'll deal with it
Loyalty and devotion, remember

[Pets his hair.]

[mearry]

That’s right. You’re a good bride, Koutarou.

[ and he’ll push himself up just to give suga a kiss on the lips. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Kisses are returned! As he blushes]

I'm doing my best

[mearry]

You're doing amazing. You don't have to worry about a thing.

[ another kiss! and another! and, for good measure, another kiss! ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Each of those kisses gets a kiss in return!]

You're so sweet

surprise 2/2 timeskip

[gemuinemanagement]

[About a month passes.

Things are good, so much better than before. Suga works on the garden while happily chatting with his husband. He plants roses and lilies, and they're already starting to sprout. They're with each other most of the time.

Sometimes Suga does have to go down to the village to get food, though. It's always a bit awkward: everyone there is surprised to see him and doesn't really want to talk. But that's not too different than before.

It is an ordinary afternoon. Suga is on a chair in the foyer reading a book when an insistent knock comes at the castle's front door.]

Do you get visitors?

[mearry]

[ the dragon hears the visitor before the knocking begins. he had hoped that it would just be a random traveler, that they would leave this place after a curious glance or two.

the knocking puts him on high alert. ]

No, I don’t.

[ his eyes are narrowed, his pupils thin slits. ]

Stay here. I’ll take care of it.

[gemuinemanagement]

[Suga bites his lip and nods. It's probably nobody dangerous - nobody could really hurt his husband, after all - but he still worries.

The visitor at the door is a girl about Suga's age, brown haired. As soon as the door opens she puts her hands on her hips, anger radiating off her in spades.]

What have you been doing to Suga-kun?

[She can't see Suga from the door, and he can't see her, but his eyes widen in recognition of the voice.]

[mearry]

[ oh. it’s just a girl.

but even that thought is followed by a surge of jealousy that threatens to overwhelm him. he’s never met her, but he knows who she is. ]

I have done nothing to him. Have you not seen him in the village?

[gemuinemanagement]

Just because you haven't eaten him doesn't mean you're treating him well! What did you even want him for?

[Suga approaches, hastily writing down a note.]

I'm fine, Shii-chan
Please don't worry about me

[mearry]

I have no reason to explain myself to you!

[ he shouts, bearing his fangs at the not-so-stranger. ]

But why else would I do it? I’m the evil dragon that your parents warned you about, no?. Are you scared that I’ll send you his bones one day, girl?

[gemuinemanagement]

Husband!

[Suga signs at him and pulls on his arm before frantically signing to Shiori.]

I'm sorry, he doesn't like strangers much, I'll see you next time I'm in the village.

[And before Shiori can even answer, he shuts the door on her. Sorry, Shii-chan.]

[mearry]

[ c-ta lets himself get pulled away. as soon as the door is closed, his manic smile falls. he covers his face with his hand, breathing heavily as his jealousy turns into a sharp fear. ]

That’s your friend. Correct?

[gemuinemanagement]

[A nod.]

I'm sorry
She's protective
But she's not a bad person
You don't have to act like the stories of you

[mearry]

Don’t apologize.

[ his tone is clipped. a friend? of course, he had told c-ta about her before, a mention here and there. he KNOWS that this girl exists.

but seeing her in person…

he grits his teeth. ]

I have to. It’d be bad otherwise.

[ but it’d be bad if she kicked up too much of a fuss too, no? ]

Go. Talk to her. I don’t want her making more noise here.
